Determine the y-intercept for the following equation
4x + 2y = -12
2

y-intercept = -6

Explanation:

The y intercept of any function or equation is when the independent variable or x is equal to 0.

Therefore 4x + 2y = -12 → 4(0) + 2y = -12, 2y = -12, y = -6.

standard form: 4x + 2y = -12 ; Ax + By = C

slope intercept: y = -2x - 6 ; y = mx + b

point slope: y + 4 = -2(x + 1) : (many different points exist on this line so this is an example of a working equation) ; y-y1 = m(x-x1)

the answer to the question is "five to eight weeks after the test date"
